Cutoff distance restriction?

hi guys
I have got a problem with the cutoff distance.
I want to solve a 3D poiseuille flow using lammps.
it works and goes correct when I use 1.2 or lower for the cutoff
distance value, but as soon as I put more than that, the system
collapses! really it does
cuz when i visual the trajectory file using vmd, I can see that.
should I change another parameter with changing cutoff distance?
if anyone can help me
this is my input file.
If anyone can help me , I'd greatly appreciate it.
thanks

When you increase the cutoff past 1.12 sigma (for LJ
units) you are adding attractions between the particles.
So the system may "collapse" or at least shrink.
Whether that is a good model for your system, is
up to you.
